What is recorded here
No exact date, name or event is known. The cave is a natural hollow in County Antrim, recorded only as a cave and marked at the centre of its site. It may have given shelter, hidden water or simply puzzled people who first walked past its dark mouth. What is missing is not a failure of imagination; it is a reminder that some places resist being completed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Natural cave. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
